The initial idea for the Orchard came in January 2020 – an area was designated – an orchard across the end of the church field and a woodland area with path through trees and wildflower meadow in the middle. The first target was the Autumn Fair that year, promoting the creation of the Orchard with apple pressing and a display about the project.
Clearance work began in late 2020-2021: a good-sized party of church and neighbours tackled the overgrowth, brambles and rubbish and the woodland trail was marked out.
